>    Any idea what year it was?  I am trying to collect as many versions of "The Prisoner's Song" that I can find.  It's remarkable who wanted to record the song. Many of them not country singers.  Jack

> "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" - written by two Tin Pan Alley hacks: Roy Bennett & Sid Tepper, who did a lot of movie tunes for Elvis. Vic Dana had the best charting song of it in 1965.

> Incidentally, Jack Palmer might find this interesting. Vic Dana was the first person I ever heard sing "The Prisoner's Song," on a mid-60s pop vocal LP on Dolton. It was a pretty kick-ass version, too (for Vic Dana, at least), kind of like what Bobby Darin did with "Mack the Knife."
